Glad Tidings for School Boards

On perhaps the majority of school boards in the United States, there is at least one serious member who feels that something is wrong with American public schooling in general, and probably with his school in particular. Among the membership of every Parent-Teachers Association there probably are two or three men and women concerned with the decay of intellectual disciplines for the rising generation. In every town of any size, certainly, there are a dozen or a score of citizens who sense that the schools need something more than money. But all of these people have been at a loss where to turn for concise and accurate information; where to find guidance toward reform.
